To make it easier to visualize the rides we have stored in the Dropbox folders, I am experimenting with creating maps of each of the GPS routes. I have started with the Normandy folder where you can see a map of each ride with the same name as the garmin files. I’ve also added a link from the master Excel worksheet to these map images.

Let me know if you think this is useful or not and any comments/suggestions. If people find it useful I will go through the rest of the folders.

The maps are the files with the extension .png This is a standard image format used across the internet so should be able to open and view them on virtually all computers or other devices. However, If you can’t view these files, let me know and I will convert them to .jpg

Hi Ian,
I tried this by going Rides and Events>TCX and Dropbox files [http://westsurreyctc.co.uk/rides-and-events/tcx-files/] but only get the following message “The folder ‘/West Surrey CTC Garmin Routes’ doesn’t exist.” when I follow the link ?

I thought it was best if the maps have the same name as the existing gps files, but I agree it would make sense to convert all the file names to a standard format.
That’s something I could do that as I go through creating the maps. Anyone have any objection if I rename the existing files? I would suggest WSCTC_yyyymmdd_n as the naming convention.
Ian

Finished! All maps completed and stored alongside the GPS files in each folder. Let me know if you find any mistakes or have any further suggestions.

I have also updated the master Excel file (GPS Routes v3.xlsx) which lists all the rides with a link to each map (see column K). From this master list, you can filter by start point (and/or coffee stop if you like) using the drop-down boxes in row 1 and then click on the map link for each ride.
